Hi, one day the key came out with difficulty a few times. then just like that it worked fine again and still goes in and out with ease but now I've noticed that the steering doesn't lock anymore, any ideas?

There is a slide pin that is not working or stuck. we need to remove the steering wheel column cover to see what's going on. here are the instructions. Check out the diagrams (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
